Notification of easYgen-3000/RP-3000 part number transition to new part numbers

We received information from our display suppliers that the monochrome displays for the easYgen-3000 Series are discontinued due to the Tsunami in Japan, which has destroyed the facility of a display component sub supplier. Based on this fact we are now forced to install color displays in all easYgen-3000 derivates and RP-3000 Remote panels. Remote panel strategy: Woodward will standardize on only one part number for the RP-3000 which will be equipped with a color display by standard Each RP-3000 Remote panel will in future be delivered with a CD-ROM that includes the flash update files to turn it into either a RP-3200-P1, RP-3200-P2 or RP-3500-P1 Remote panel. o Advantages: Color display by standard in all easYgen-3000 derivates and RP3000 Remote Panels Only one part number for the RP-3000 Distributors and Customers just need to put one RP-3000 Remote Panel on stock and by flashing the corresponding update files it can be turned into a Remote panel that fits to each easYgen3000 derivate

New Software functionality in RP-3000 Remote panels: The Remote panel software will be updated so that the RP-3000 Remote Panel automatically detects whether it has the correct software installed that fits to the connected easYgen-3000 derivate. If the RP-3000 Remote panel and easYgen-3000 software do not match to each other a message on the RP-3000 display will be shown.
